A Continental Army, Nov 1915.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/63673959

General description of the collection: This collection contains a pamphlet, "A Continental Army," by Colonel Joseph T. Dickman of the 2nd U.S. Cavalry, published in November 1915. In his pamphlet, Colonel Dickman describes his proposal to train a company of 18 year old draftees and volunteers from each congressional district every year. These men would serve as ready reserve for the regular army for a period of 7 years, reviewing their initial 4 months training for 15 days each year. By Dickman's estimate, at full implementation, 400,000 troops would be trained and ready for rapid deployment.
